Kai was my friend. Very strong, very humble, a strong worker, always with a smile on his face. He was so excited to show me around at his families farm, explaining how everything worked and how is family built it. He took pride in his family and in his culture. But he always got embarrassed when I would tell everyone everytime we went into the shops of Wailea that his picture was up on the wall with his family. Humble that guy! I went to Iao and prayed in the stream the day before they found Kai. I prayed and cried out to God for the return of my friend. An intense spiritual experience.. but I left Iao knowing he would return the next day... i just didn't think in this way. But i know he knows that all is good. That he understood more than we even knew. And that he is now more connected to us and to this aina than he has ever been. I believe he is happy! I miss him.
